Epic Mickey: Difference between revisions

* [[Hopeless War]]: Before Mickey came to the Wastelands, Shadow Blot and the Mad Doctor had pretty much won the Blot War; they have conquered Oswald's castle and petrified {{spoiler|his wife Ortensia}}, an act which sends him into a deep depression and causes him to lose his will to fight, leaving the fighting to small, weak bands of resistance groups. One of them, the crew of Captain Hook, has most of the members dead or turned into Beetleworx and the rest scattered leaderless in the jungle. Another group, The Gremlins, has been more successful in fighting off Blot's forces, but the sheer force of Blot's forces causes most of the Gremlins to be taken as prisoners, and their own village was under siege before Mickey helped in turning the tide.

* [[Hostage for Macguffin]]: Near the game's climax, the {{spoiler|true}} [[Eldritch Abomination|Shadow Blot]] takes [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald]] and [[Deadpan Snarker|Gus]] hostage and demands [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey's]] heart in exchange for their safety.

** Interestingly, [[Walt Disney|Walt]] himself was happy that [[Walter Lantz]] had been using [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald]] and had been taken from Charles Mintz.

* [[Hub Level]]: As far as accessing the other levels, Mean Street serves as this, especially considering that its [[Disney Theme Parks]] counterpart, Main Street USA, is probably the best [[Real Life|real-life]] example of the [[Trope]].
